Photography Dunrite Studios, Colorado Springs

Charlie Dunn found his calling when he saw a photographer shoot a wedding, producing memorable pictures that had a profound emotional effect on the people who received them. Charlie wanted to be a part of that, so he honed his skills studying under the very photographer who inspired him. Two years later he struck out on his own and founded Photography Dunrite Studios. Today, the professional photographer captures shoots weddings as often as family portraits, working equally well on location—the stream in South Shooks Run Park is a favorite spot to take pictures—or in his 2,000-square-foot studio, which features cinematic-style backdrops to spice up any shoot.
